I am sure there are zillion of products that do a great job. As noted amply, the process ie prep and technique are as important if not more than the product used. As to which product lasts longer, there are zillion variables starting with how often you wash your car, how you wash your car, your climate, garaged or not, car cover or not, what type of roads you drive on, how many miles, etc.

Having said this, check your local body shop auto paint suppliers and see what most brand/product they have on their shelves - 3M! But marketing is king hence why you have forum wars on Zymol vs. Zaino. I have no personal gains in any of the products or brands and have tried many.

This is true, but I will have to add that there are still "bad" or "lower than average" products out there that will never touch any of my cars. Armor all and NuFinish to name a couple.

But as far as Zaino, Zymol, Meguiars, Dodo Juice, Finish Kare, etc. it all comes down to personal preference in terms of application, looks, and durability.

But more often than not like Jsilas said, it is technique. If the vehicle isn't properly prepped, we can put $200 wax on a neglected car and it will be pointless.

I'm a huge fan of the Wolfgang sealant and I've used a lot of products from NXT (easy to find at Walmart) to Zaino (overrated). The Wolfgang sealant is easy on and easy off and lasts a long time. I usually, clay, polish, coat of sealant, and the top with P21S.

I agree, Zaino is more on the "overrated" side. But it is still a good sealant. I also have P21S and IMO it's a bit overrated as well. I've heard some people had better results with P21S 100%. With that said, my favorite "soft" wax would be Chemical Guy's 50/50. It makes my wife's black car look like a pool of oil.

The P21S 100% gives a great deep shine and is easy on/easy off, but it just doesn't last long enough for me. I keep going back to Blackfire sealant which consistently lasts about 6 months.
